Comment on Ryan Dahl steps down

Comments

Hm. I am just wondering if it wouldn't be better if Ryan could make living of Node and therefore could stay to work on it. How does one make living of Node ... em, charge for it, maybe? Is it so radical to suggest that Node could be a paid product.

Ryan and Isaac were both hired by Joyent after becoming established in the node community. Everyone seems happy with this being an open-source project.

I thought Ryan already worked at Joyent before he started his work on node.

I didn't say it should be closed-source. Paid doesn't preclude open source.
